Which one of the following is NOT a rotational rheometer?

  • A.Cone and plate rheometer
  • B.Parallel plate rheometer
  • C.Capillary rheometer
  • D.Cylindrical Couette rheometer

Answer: C

The capillary rheometer is not rotational.

A capillary rheometer forces the melt through a fine die by a piston or gas pressure and obtains viscosity from the pressure drop and the flow rate. It is a pressure-driven instrument and reaches the high shear rates found in extrusion and injection moulding.

The cone and plate, parallel plate and concentric cylinder (Couette) rheometers all shear the sample between a fixed and a rotating member, measuring torque against angular speed, so they are rotational rheometers.
